450 LCQ RESULTS

Chad Reed grabbed the holeshot in the 450 LCQ while Justin Brayton came from the very outside start gate after his bike was late to the starting line.

Justin was fifth on the start, but quickly moved his way into second behind Chad Reed. Soon after Justin would get by Reed to inherit the lead. Dustin Winter held onto third with Kyle Cunningham fourth and Alex Ray fifth midway through the race.
